Hard drive??”If you can place a copy of the Fedora distribution on your hard drive, you
can install it from there. (The distribution should be on a hard drive partition to which
you are not installing.)
Unlike some earlier Fedora and Red Hat Linux versions, the current version of Fedora
doesn??™t support floppy disk boot images because the Linux 2.6 kernel is too large to fit
on a floppy disk. So if you don??™t have a bootable CD or DVD drive, you will need to start the install
process from some other medium such as a USB key, PXE server, or hard drive.

Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Part III
Installing on Multiple Computers
If you??™re installing Fedora on many computers with similar configurations, you can save yourself
some time by using the Kickstart installation, which enables you to create a set of answers to the
questions Fedora asks you during installation. More information about Kickstart can be found at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AnacondaKickstart.
Installation Guides
Fedora 8 installation guides are available in several different languages. To download a tarball of an
installation guide or simply read it online, refer to this site:

Choosing to Install or Upgrade
Are you doing a new install or an upgrade? If you are upgrading a Fedora system to the latest version,
the installation process will try to leave your data files and configuration files intact as much
as possible.
